Bippy's opens in Bluewater Bay; Professional Golf under new ownership

Many of us made a resolution four weeks ago that we’d eat healthier diets. Fortunately Bippy’s by the Beach Frozen Yogurt gives us some treat options without blowing the waist line battle.

“It’s a little bit lower in fat and carbs than ice cream,” said store manager Chelsea Rice of the frozen yogurt option.

In mid-January, Bippy’s by the Beach opened a location in Bluewater Bay, just east of Niceville, adding to the Uptown Station and Panama City Beach locations of this locally owned business.

“We have around 60 toppings, cold and dry,” Rice said, adding that many are allergen safe. “We have four fresh fruits all the time in the Bluewater Bay location.

“We use the highest quality yogurt available,” Rice also said. “We use the best product on the market.”

Bippy’s offers a 10 percent military discount, and seniors can get the same discount on Mondays. Two-stamp Tuesdays offers a double stamp on the rewards card, which can add up to another tempting treat.

Matthew Lindley, who has been a partner in Professional Golf Management Inc. since April, welcomed an opportunity in December to purchase the golf and hospitality management company from its founder, Paul Bergen.

Bergen, Lindley said, is “truly a legend in this business,” building a company that offers management to area golf clubs, and Bergen will continue with the company as vice president of business development.

Lindley said the goal of Professional Golf Management always is to meet the needs of its clients.

“We insert a business model that takes care of the club,” Lindley said, “anything a club would need.” Those needs range from installation of financial procedures, to marketing, and to maintaining the agri-business that a golf course demands.

“Our niche is more of the smaller club,” Lindley also said, noting that the company serves golf clubs throughout Florida and in other states.

“I’ll go in (a club) and give strategic guidance to the owners and board of directors,” he continued. “It takes the operation off the owners.”

The company continues to grow and accepts new clients.
